Indians...

I have worked with a bunch of people from India who are great at technology and coding. The problem is that they tend to leave India and come to North America to work simply because companies don't pay for shit in India. I'm confident that India has great coders in India, but to get that companies would have to pay for the good talent. Which completely negates the whole reason to off shore in the first place.

Downvoters don’t know just how much of tech is offloaded to IST (and what the result of that money based decision has on product quality and supportability). It would be funny if I didn’t understand just how bad it is, but >10 years in the industry opened my eyes

It wouldn't be surprising if the downvoters are indians. They get hyper offensive if anyone criticises them.
